Ronin (1998)

Robert Deniro starts the film like an old French spy flick and Jean Reno ends it on the same note. In between director John Frankenheimer takes us on an interesting ride that often requires our attention and intelligence. It is fun and engrossing trying to keep up with him.

The film boasts some of the best car chases since "Bullit" and "The French Connection." Frankenheimer takes us on two of these rollercoaster jaunts that are exciting and fun!

The best part of the film is its ambiguity, which proves that the story is much more important that the mystery.

Note:

Many car chase scenes were filmed in the tunnels of Paris which often recalled the scenes of the accident that killed Princess Diana.
